The Purpose Of Life - How Humans Create Meaning Out Of Meaninglessness

When contemplating the meaning of life, it is easy to become confused and disheartened as we find that there is no conclusive overarching meaning that we can hold on to.

When it comes to trying to find some grand purpose that humanity is striving to, we can only really answer questions with more questions.

And every question we ask seems to only widen the scope of our perspective of the universe and consequently reduce the significance of our existence.

For every step we take away from our self in order to get a better view of what's around us, we become smaller and smaller.

So what can we do?

How can we find meaning and purpose in our life if we can't understand or define our purpose outside of it?

In the scope of the boundless and perpetual universe, our individual lives are fundamentally meaningless.

But that does not imply that they can't still be filled with meaning.

As humans, through the power of imagination and higher consciousness, we have the incredible ability to create meaning within the meaningless.

We are creators, able to imagine meaning and attach it to the things around us.

We can create and carry out concepts like love, morality, and success.

We can create narratives out of our lives and experience wonder and inspiration.

We are all like children playing games of imagination with the world.

And it is through this concept that we can uncover life's meaning.

The meaning of human life is simply to create, to play and enjoy the game of imagination as best we can.

To accept that we do not understand our overarching purpose and that we may not even have one.

And instead, work to connect with and enjoy the life we can create around us.

The relationships and friendships that we form.

The passions that we follow.

The values and outlooks that we behold.

These types of things are the true meaning of human life.

We should appreciate our life, not because there is some grand purpose or meaning behind it, but because there is endless meaning that we can create and enjoy within it.
